No Longer A Prisoner Lyrics
No Longer a Prisoner - Hank Snow
Written by：Ralph Yaw
While a prisoner of war in Korea
Surrounded by guards and barred wire
I dreamed of returnin' to you dear
Oh that was my heart's one desire
Now at last I am free and returnin'
And I'm thankful to god up above
I'm no longer a prisoner of war dear
But I'm still a prisoner of love
These past years my darlin' were
Like a nightmare to me
But through all the hardships
And the suffering it seemed
Like your face I could always see
Seems like you gave me
The courage and the will to live
When I was so heartsick and blue
And my lonely hours seemed
To fly quickly by dear
When I was thinking of you
You know honey
I didn't receive all of your letters
Till way after the truce was signed
But now that I've read them all over
I hope dear
That you haven't changed your mind
Gee soon now
This plane is gonna be landin' and
I hope you'll be waitin' there for me
The minutes are draggin' by like hours now
What's my fate to be
In the crowd dear I see you there wavin'
And I'm thankful to god up above
For this ole' plane has just hit the runway
And I'm safe in the arms of my love
